In a text editor or even rewrite the whole page punbb structure for Markdown?

My hope would be that I would be able to type a response using Markdown instead of BBCode. I don't know enough about the structure of PunBB to say how much of a change it would be.

Obviously, the forum would have to track whether a post was typed with BBCode or Markdown format. Then it could convert the saved text (BBCode or Markdown) to HTML for display.
